OPEN LETTER
To all Poplar people,
I'd like to share some of my feelings with you about rry best friend, K1m Nees. Somehow, I feel a little I better when I talk about her. It helps to heal the hurt 1 feel Inside. I've got really good mem- I orles of K1m and then there are the bad memories, of how she died. When her crime 1s solved the bad ones will go away. That's what I'm told. K1m attended Mineral Bench School until the 4th grade when she moved to town. We were 1n Mr. Laager's class together. We became very close friends about a year ago. She wasn't Hke a sister� she was closer than a sister. I don't even know how to describe our friendship. I knew her about as good as I know myself. We could just look at each other and know what one a-nother was thinking. It was Incredible�sometimes we'd look at one another and laugh at the same time. She was the closest friend I ever had.
We went out every week night. At first she'd tell me when she planned to call my house. Then she just called at the same time each day. The phone would ring and I knew 1t was K1m. After she died, the phone rang several times, "at her time'.' It was a hard adjustment to realize 1t wasn't Kin --1t would never be Kim again. That's the part that really bothers me--she was with me one day and gone the next, for the rest of my life. We'd made so many plans--and were to be roommates at col-leqe.
Kim was her dad's "hired man" at the farm. She liked to be out 1n the country and drive the tractor. She loved the food her Gramma cooked there toe.
She was so peppy and full cf life. I remember ten days before she died a bunch of us kids went water :k11ng. It was early June and the water was freezing, but K1m was the first to jump 1n. She really looked forward to summer. The Nees family have a dog named "Peanut." They got Mm years ago from Eagle-bnys. I think he's part
